Here it is: my first spinning podcast. I wanted to share this workout because I know how convenient it is to have a prefabricated playlist, with appropriate tempos for keeping cadence and everything, but I've had trouble finding playlists with music that I actually like (for example, fitpod is a great resource, but I don't really enjoy the music). So I wanted to provide a full workout for people who don't have access to cycling or spinning classes, or who prefer to do their workouts outside.

By the way, this is the same workout that I taught the other day at Genesis.

Jamie, Thanks for posting your cycling podcasts! Being a cycling rookie, it is really helpful to have someone in my ear while I am on the stationary bike. I noticed you are sporting USC gear in a few of your photos. Fight On! I am a current SC student and plan to race in my first tri this summer. Keep the podcasts coming, please!
